Picos de Europa in autumn – key workouts to strengthen ankles and level up
When autumn arrives in the Picos de Europa, the landscape becomes a runner’s playground. The crisp mountain air, vibrant forests, and limestone peaks create the perfect backdrop for trail training. But beyond its beauty, this national park offers something even more valuable for trail runners: the chance to build strong ankles, improve balance, and prepare for technical mountain races across Spain (see our roundup of the 5 most impressive trail races in Spain). Autumn brings fewer tourists and cooler conditions, which makes it an ideal season to focus on training. The combination of rocky trails, steep climbs, and long descents challenges your muscles and coordination in a way few other locations in Europe can match. Why train in the Picos de Europa The Picos de
Train smart: tapering guide for October and November ultras
October and November bring some of the most iconic trail ultras in Europe and beyond. From the fast and technical trails of Les Templiers in France, to the rugged Guara Somontano in Spain, to the mythical Diagonale des Fous on Réunion Island, these races test every aspect of endurance. By the time runners arrive at the final weeks before race day, most of the hard work is already done. Long runs are logged, climbs have been tackled, and countless hours have been spent training. Yet there is still one final step that can make or break performance: tapering. In trail running, tapering means reducing your training load before an event to allow the body to fully recover and arrive fresh. It’s not about doing nothing—it’s
Prix des courses de trail en Europe : combien coûte un dossard ?
Le trail running a explosé dans toute l’Europe, avec des centaines de parcours époustouflants et d’événements légendaires, des sommets des Alpes aux sentiers volcaniques des îles Canaries. Mais le prix pour s’aligner au départ varie-t-il autant que le terrain ? Notre étude complète a analysé plus de 200 courses, parmi des événements célèbres comme le Marathon du Mont Blanc, le Canfranc Canfranc, le MIUT, le Festival des Templiers, la Maxi Race, l’Adamello Ultra Trail, le Dolomiti Extreme, le Montreux Trail Festival et bien d’autres encore, et a comparé leurs frais d’inscription moyens pour trois distances populaires avec 24 courses de l’UTMB® World Series à travers l’Europe. Le trail running n’est pas égal. Contrairement à l’expérience uniforme de la course sur route, chaque course de trail
Damian Watson on Conquering the One Hundred® Ladakh Trail to Heaven
High in the Himalayas, where the air is thin and every step feels heavier than the last, lies a race that defies ordinary trail running. The One Hundred® Ladakh Trail to Heaven is not just a test of endurance — it’s a battle with altitude, terrain, and self. With passes rising above 5,000 metres, landscapes that shift from Mars-like valleys to snow-capped ridgelines, and a finish beneath the sacred gaze of a giant Buddha, this race is as much a pilgrimage as it is a competition. Among those who embraced the challenge was Damian Watson, a mountain-addicted who fought through the extremes to claim second place. We caught up with Damian to relive his journey — from the brutal climbs and raw beauty of Ladakh
